We just wanted to wish all of our family members "Happy Birthday" in this month of October. I have a list, and I hope that I don't miss anyone!!!
Maggie Claire Porter was 6 years old on October 13
Emily Hutton's birthday is today!!!
Meredith Porter will be 1 on October 31st
Also, Happy late Anniversary to Andy and Renee Halbert. It was on October 18th, right before she flew to Honduras last week. I am kind of thankful that they got married! Also, Mita: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for helping me out in my classroom so that I could be here. It has been such a specail and wonderful time, and I cannot even tell you how much your sacrifice means to me and to my entire family. Everyone has seen first-hand what I already knew: I have a wonderful mother-in-law!!!
May God bless any other birthdays that were/will be in October!

Thursday, Thursday
Sad news for the day is that Cat had to be back in the hospital today. Her fever got up to 103.3 degrees this morning, and the doctor wanted her to come in. They think it is just the same infection just not responding to the original antibiotics. So, I am staying here with her in the hospital tonight. We are going to have just a sister night. It is nice for both Mama and Cat to get a little time apart once in a while. It is also nice to have a little alone time for the two of us sisters.
Mama and I went to the Elite restaurant tonight for supper. It was delicious, as usual. We even brought something back for Cat and Daddy. I have had great food all week!
I think I will have to shop by myself tomorrow, which is not exactly what Cat had wanted. I am hoping that she will not be in the hospital very long. Please pray that we will not be here for much longer!

Good Food
Cat went in to the doctor yesterday to get checked out and make sure everything is ok. She is doing better, but it is still hard for her to eat very much. She feels full all the time because of the infection. She is not feeling the best today, but we are hoping that she will get better as the day goes on. Please pray that she will feel up to going shopping at some point with me. I have always loved to shop with her, but it would be very special this week.
I was a bit spoiled yesterday! Emily and I picked up sushi from Nagoya to eat while the kids played on the playground in Back Yard Burger. Nagoya is one of my favorite sushi restaurants of all time. If you haven't tried the Dynamite roll from there, you need to go as soon as possible!! Cat's favorite is the Rock and Roll, but it is a little too big for me. Daddy came down yesterday afternoon to see Cat while she went to the doctor. He called me on the way to her house to ask me where I wanted to eat: ANYWHERE I want, he said!! :) I have been craving a good steak, so he took me to Tico's. The steak was to die for (even though it was not quite as good as Daddy's) and I enjoyed a nice glass of Chardonnay with my meal. Everything was wonderful! Daddy got a Banana Fosters Ice Cream Pie for dessert, while I opted for the "melt in your mouth" Bread Pudding. We had left overs to share with Cat and Mama, and they loved that!!!
Today, we are hoping to hit the shopping. I hope Cat will feel well enough to come. Otherwise, we might wait until tomorrow. Please be praying for her complete healing of this infection and protection from any other sickness. She is going to be extra careful now as we enter the cold and flu season. There will be a lot of germs floating around, and she has realized that getting sick while her immune system is weak is no fun! Thank you for your prayers!!

Weather Changes
There was a storm last night here in central MS, and I was hit hard with a pressure headache as a result. I guess my body finally got accustomed to the altitude in El Hatillo.
I am sitting here with Cat in Jackson, waiting on Mama to bring Subway salads for supper. Cat was supposed to come to Tchula yesterday and today, but her fever never went down. So, I just came to her this afternoon, and we will stay here unless she feels well enough to go to Tchula later this week.
I was able to visit with Jan-Jan and Henry Forrest today during lunch and Mrs. Beth Harris this afternoon. I love to go to my grandparents house in Cruger-there's just something special and unique about the smell of their house. Mrs. Beth is like my second mother, and her house is like my second home. Whenever I go, I have to stay for a while because it is so nice to catch up. Her daughter and my best friend in elementary school is getting married December 15 this year, which is the same weekend that Aaron and I were married last year. It is hard for me to believe that we have been married almost a year! Our move to Honduras has grown us closer together, for which we are so thankful. People say that moving away from all family will truly help a couple to leave and cleave. Not that we don't want to be near our family, but we have loved the time that we have together. We are each other's best friends, and we have so much fun together in Honduras!
The plans for the week are to go out to eat at a few of my favorite places and to shop at my favorite stores. Please pray that Cat will feel up to shopping with us. She was excited about it when she was getting out of the hospital, but she is afraid that she will not have the energy and strength. May the Lord provide that as He has so graciously provided for all of our needs!

I cannot tell you how weird it was to walk around in US airports yesterday and today, and actually hear English!!! My mind is always racing in Honduras because I can only catch a couple of words of people's conversation. It was a good feeling to be able to understand what people are saying when I need to!
I arrived today in Jackson, MS at 10:45 am. I flew to Houston yesterday and stayed the night. It was an early morning today, but I was here so early! After we left the airport, Mama and I made our way to Target for a quick stop, which was time enough for me to see MANY things in the clothes section that I would love to buy! (Aaron, I hope you read this) ;) We then went to the hospital to see Catherine. Side Note: Catherine got a bacterial infection while on her beach trip and had to come back to be put in the hospital for observation. Cat got a little emotional when she saw me, which made me feel so loved. It did not take long until Cat and I started going back and forth to update each other on our lives. There is only so much you can say on Skype and we don't talk on that very often. It was so wonderful to sit there and tell each other everything! This was also my first time to see Cat in person since she lost her hair. I know that I am a little biased, but she is still gorgeous. Catherine Anna Hutton could never look bad any day of her life! I will try to put some pictures up after the week with my family.
Daddy came over to the hospital to pick me up for a Hutton cook-out in Clinton. That was a lot of fun to spend the afternoon with some of my Hutton cousins, aunts, and uncles. Emily, Ryan, and the kids are also here for some of the week, so we all had a ball! It was surprising to see how much my neices and nephew have grown in just two and a half months! I loved seeing everyone!
I will try to update once in a while this week. We have a lot of plans for when Cat gets out of the hospital!
